The following are INFORMATION, ARTICLES and OTHER that I found interesting for the day, week , month. My PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS are added to the information based on my EXPERIENCES in the SECURITY and INTELLIGENCE professions. If YOU have ARTICLES or OTHER you would like placed on the site, please do not hesitate to send them to me with YOUR OPINIONS at efpipps@gmail.com. I look forward to ALL of your comments and information.

COMMENTS: Of course they will expand their spying and the hackers will expand their hacking and the NSA will expand its geeks and the hackers will expand,…yada, yada, yada and it will never end because these people are sick with their computer crap. THERE IS NO COMPUTER SECURITY for anyone. The US, China, Iran, India, Israel, all of them are spying and hacking on everyone else. The U.S., being the market it is, is being attacked millions of times a day through countless measures. Until there are laws set up that have teeth, laws that will ground an entire country for hacking, stealing and spying on another, this type of crap will continue. If I told China, “you do it again and there will be an stoppage of trade that day.” China would re-think and re-group their idiot geeks. Why? because China needs us more than we need China. Without us buying their crap they would drop like a rock. They can threaten, and blow smoke all they want, but the fact is, we could outlast them in a standoff and all of their upper management leaders know this. If we had leadership with balls, this would be a gimme, but we don’t. We have gutless leaders with no plan, and with this comes stupidity and incompetence, which we have truckloads of. Back on point, right now we have thousands of geeks, paid for by us through the NSA to come up with every available method and ones being created today, to steal our information and then lie about it. There is NO honor in spying, it’s lying, cheating, murdering, unhonorable work that’s why we recruit the people we do to do it. These people are expendable both professionally and otherwise that’s why we have them. Obama knows this, and uses it. Don’t hate me for stating the obvious, and the facts. No laws stated by Congress, Obama or the Intelligence Agencies can be trusted because they are liars, and we pay them to do it. Now, who is the fool?

COMMENTS: More of the same stupidity, covering up, and lying to the American people about one’s capabilities. There is NO stopping this, so just get used to the Chinese and everyone else having your business records, your most private information including but not limited to banking, health, work, family, etc.

COMMENTS: This is just choosing between ALL BAD options. Know when you are defeated and get out. Come back another day. Sun Tzu stated this many centuries ago. Obama should read some of it instead of the Harvard Hasty Pudding Magazine with Cartoons.

THE TRUTH ABOUT DOCUMENT SHREDDING

Top 3 Myths About Document Shredding
Document shredding couldn't possibly be that complicated - right? Wrong. Each day homeowners and office workers go about their days destroying documents under the pretense of these top three myths.

Myth #3 - No one will look through your trash
Believe it or not, several people routinely go through business and personal trash. What's scarier? Once in the dumpster, your trash is considered public property by the Supreme Court. When individuals go through trash looking for recyclables or boxes, they find personal information that can lead to a corporate data breach or personal identity theft.
Myth #2 - It is better to have too many records than not enough
You might think holding onto your tax documents from 10 years ago is a good idea, but in reality it does nothing but put you at risk if stolen. Not to mention, holding onto too many documents can cause unwanted clutter around the office and house. Put your mind at ease and establish a retention policy for yourself. After so many years, make sure you securely shred your documents to keep yourself from being at risk to identity theft.

Myth #1 - Shredded paper can't be recycled
We hate this myth - which is why it reached our number one spot! Most trash haulers don't want shredded paper in their recycle bins. However, when you shred your documents through a professional shredding service, their shredded paper goes to paper mills by truckload to be recycled into tissue paper and office paper for a more sustainable world.

Warrior Quotes

"As your army faces the enemy and the enemy appears powerful, try to attack the enemy in one particular spot. If you are successful in crumbling that one particular spot, leave that spot and attack the next and so on and so forth, as if you were going down a winding road."

-Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645)

Musashi was an expert Japanese swordsman and rōnin. Musashi, as he was often simply known, became renowned through stories of his excellent, and unique double bladed swordsmanship and undefeated record in his 60 duels. He was the founder of the Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū or Niten-ryū style of swordsmanship and in his final years authored the The Book of Five Rings

THE PRINCIPLES OF DATA DESIGN

First Principle: If data isn't collected, it can't be stolen.

Second Principle: Only people you trust can betray you. The rest are just out to get you.

Third Principle: Never underestimate the attention, risk, money and time that an opponent will put into reading traffic (Robert Morris).

Fourth Principle: Keep it simple. The more complex it is, the more places there are to attack.

Fifth Principle. Modes and choices are bad in crypto protocols, they give users choices they are not qualified to make. It's your job to be clever, not the user's.

Sixth Principle. a system that's hard to use either doesn't get used, or it gets misused. Good user interfaces are essential. Users don't RTFM, so don't expect them to.
